In the US most students recite “the pledge of allegiance” every morning before school, which is kind of crazy. If you were in charge, what if anything would you replace it with?

    Guess you weren’t “most” then. That’s definitely not the norm.

      It is a law in my state that all students must stand and all teachers must recite. Most of the students recite too, but no one but teachers are forced to.

          protects students from being compelled to salute the American flag or say the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools.

          Students are not being compelled to salute or say the pledge, only stand and be quiet. Teachers are the ones compelled to recite the pledge every day.
